Students can get Spotify, Hulu for $5 a month Companies create deal to compete with other services Nolan Leahy Byte Reporter Streaming services are constantly used where there’s a stable Internet connection. It’s grown quite popular with the millennial generation, as evidenced by the heavily used phrase “Netflix and chill.”

On Sept. 7, Spotify and Hulu announced a combo deal that gives Spotify Premium and Hulu Plus for $5 a month, which is in effect as of the announcement.

The normal subscription for Hulu Plus is roughly $8 per month, which allows streaming of numerous TV shows with the tacked-on requirement of watching advertisements.

Spotify Premium for students only charged $5 before this new deal struck. Now it’s essentially allowing students to get Hulu for free.

This combination of services is a competitive move to keep up with AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, who have individually offered combination services like bundled DirecTV or Netflix.

According to a Spotify News article, Senior VP and Head of Distribution and Partnerships at Hulu had this to say: “We are proud to announce Spotify as our newest strategic partner — they’re an iconic brand in music streaming and a proven leader in reaching and engaging young consumers.”

The idea of combining music and television services together for college students is incredibly generous for $5 a month. To put it into perspective, that’s the same price as one year’s worth of Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus. With that in mind, it’s going to be difficult to stop students from taking advantage of this deal that may also ditch the streaming competition.

Ball State’s 17th first family reflects on their lives, looks forward to becoming integral part of community

Brynn Mechem News Editor

The circular area between Bracken Library and the College of Architecture and Planning.

Benny

The ‘80s were an era filled with Michael Jackson, big hair and “Flashdance ...What A Feeling.” It also happens to be when Jennifer and Geoffrey Mearns first met.

While Cardinal families are flocking to campus to celebrate Family Weekend, President Mearns and his wife, Jennifer, find themselves reflecting on their favorite memories as a couple, family and Ball State’s 17th first family.

The statue located near West Quad. Benny stands for scholarship and excellence, academic honesty, treating everyone in a socially responsible way and the value of intrinsic worth.

‘Chirp chirp’ Ball State’s cheer for athletic events or anything exciting, really.

Club Bracken A common nickname for Bracken Library.

Cow Path The path that extends from LaFollette Complex to Cooper Life Science.

Their Story Jennifer said the pair’s mutual friends decided to set them up at a race after discovering they both enjoyed running and came from big families — President Mearns is the fifth child of nine, and Jennifer is the sixth child of eight. She said it was there that they had their first real conversation.

President Mearns, on the other hand, doesn’t remember it quite like that.

“It was maybe a half an hour before the start of the race, and we were both going to run,” President Mearns said. “So [my friend] introduced us, and she turned and said hello and chatted for about five seconds, and then turned back to her conversation with her father and some other friends. So, she essentially just gave me the Heisman trophy.”

However, their story didn’t end there. They met again shortly after Thanksgiving 1982 in New York City for dinner, though President Mearns said that had there been cell phones back then, he probably wouldn’t have shown up.

Their date fell on the night of an Army vs. Navy football game in Philadelphia, a game President Mearns and his roommates had plans to go to.

“During the middle of the game they were like, ‘Why are you driving all the way back to New York City in the middle of the night to go on a date with a girl who has apparently had no interest in you while we go have fun out in Philadelphia?’” President Mearns said. “So I was like, ‘Oh, you’re right.’ So every few minutes,

The pond near Johnson East and West complexes.

Frog Baby The statue located in the fountain in front of Bracken Library. Legend has it, rubbing her nose before finals will give a student good luck.

Gum Tree The tree that was once located near Pruis Hall. It was removed in the summer of 2016, but a new tree was started near the prior location.

Scramble Light President Mearns and his wife, Jennifer, pose for a portrait in the Quad Sept. 11. REAGAN ALLEN, DN I would go out onto the concourse of the stadium to go to a payphone and I kept calling my friend to say I’m not coming. Well, he didn’t have an answering machine and the phone kept ringing and ringing.”

President Mearns said he made a phone call every 15 minutes for the duration of the game, but never got a hold of his friend.

“Because of my friendship with this guy I drove all the way back from Philadelphia at 7 o’clock at night to get to New Jersey at 9 o’clock to take a shower, change my clothes and go into the city,” he said. “If there had been cellphones, or an answering machine, I would never have gone there, but I’m certainly glad I did.”

Their Kids The two have been together since that December, marrying after

six years of dating. They now have five kids spanning the ages of 19 to 25.

“It’s a funny family. There’s always a lot of chatter,” Jennifer said.

“I think we’re very fortunate because all of our kids get along very well. I know people that come from smaller families or just different families that can be less verbal, and I think it can be a little overwhelming for them to come to dinner with us.”

The Mearns’s middle child, Clare,

said during a speech at President Mearns’s installation that her favorite part about their family was the competitive nature.

“Games are not always leisurely or fun at the Mearns household,” Clare said. “While most parents let their kids win in order to build confidence and self esteem, my dad felt his role was to teach us to be gracious losers.”

Soccer closes out non-conference play with senior night

Team will honor 7 seniors as high hopes persist for games starting next week

Kara Biernat Sports Editor

Sophomore setter Amber Seaman hits the ball during the second set against Bradley University on Sept. 1 at John E. Worthen Arena. Ball State will face Evansville at 7 p.m. BRIANA HALE, DN FILE Jessica Carroll Daily News Reporter Ball State women’s volleyball finished off its weekend tournament at Colorado State with a win against Idaho State, but fell short to bid No. 25 Colorado State and bid No. 16 Michigan (1-3).

Opening the tournament at 2 p.m. with a rally against Colorado State, the team started off strong to win its first set (25-21), with key plays from sophomore defensive specialist Kate Avila, who had a pair of aces along with four kills from redshirt junior middle hitter Meg Starling.

Head coach Kelli Miller thought Avila played well this past weekend, saying “she really got into a good defensive rhythm and passed extremely well against tough servers all weekend.”

Ball State (6-4) had 57 total kills in the match, compared to Colorado State’s 59. Leading in kills for the Cardinals was junior outside hitter Ellie Dunn with 16.

The Cardinals won the first set (25-21), before the Rams came back to take the win in three consecutive sets (27-25, 25-22, 25-22).

“For the majority of the time, I thought we maintained a high level of play,” Miller said. “We stayed true to what we do, which is serving, passing and defense.”

Later that evening, Ball State rallied against Idaho State to take a four-set victory (25-23, 27-29, 25-21, 25-21).

While the Cardinals had secured the first set, the Bengals seized the second and Ball State was limited to a .171 (4824- 140) attack percentage. However, senior outside hitter Jessica Lindsey and freshman Kia Holder were able to change the momentum in the two remaining sets.

Lindsey blasted seven kills, secured two blocks and hit .312 (7-2- 16) in the final two sets, while Holder recorded a career-high nine kills and hit .300 (9-3- 20) in three sets.

On the court, junior redshirt middle hitter Meg Starling reached 10 total blocks (two solo and eight assists), to become the first Ball State player in program history to reach double digits blocks in 119 matches.

Ball State finished off the Colorado State University Tournament on Sunday when it challenged No. 16 Michigan, ultimately losing in four sets (25-17, 20-25, 1125, 18-25).

The Cardinals started off strong in the first set, with a solo block set point finish from junior outside hitter Ellie Dunn. Redshirt junior middle hitter/opposite Avery Devoe led with four kills in the first set, totaling for eight with a .467 (8-1- 15) attack percentage.

Leading in kills for the Cardinals were junior middle hitter Emily Holland with 10, and junior outside hitter/ opposite Brooklyn Goodsel with nine.

“The matches and sets that we were successful in, we were doing those at a high level,” Miller said. “The sets that we weren’t as successful in, I think our passing kind of broke down and that led to our offense not hitting at a high percentage.”

Ball State will return home to Worthen Arena today to play the University of Evansville.

Evansville hosted the Dunn Hospitality Invitational last weekend. The Purple Aces recorded a win against Alabama-Birmingham, along with two losses to Indiana and Tennessee at Martin.

Ball State and Evansville will face off at 7 p.m. today in Worthen Arena to open the Ball State and Butler Tournament.

Ball State will head into Friday’s contest with some emotions.

The team will be celebrating its senior night on the last non-conference game of the season, per usual. Ball State (1-5-1) will return home to host Western Illinois (0-6).

“Going into this weekend will be emotional because it will be senior day,” head coach Craig Roberts said. “It’s going to be beneficial for us to return home and play on our home field.”

Ball State will honor seven seniors on Friday at Briner Sports Complex to close out non-conference play.

“I think that every person that plays at Ball State needs to be recognized for what they’ve done,” Roberts said. “The amount of effort these seniors have put into the program on a day-to-day basis is tremendous. I’ve been able to see them grow and mature as not just soccer players, but as people.”

The Cardinals played IUPUI Friday, when they fell 1-0 to the Jaguars to put them on a three-game losing streak.

Roberts has high hopes as they move into

conference play next Friday.

“I’m not broken-hearted that we aren’t doing it right now because this isn’t the peak time for us as we’re still in non-conference play,” Roberts said. “We are inches away getting the performances we want.”

Friday’s game marked the first game this season where the entirety of the roster was healthy and cleared to play. With almost the whole team in action, the Cardinals will compete with the Leathernecks for the jersey that is passed between the two teams.

“The girls recognize the importance of playing for the jersey,” Roberts said. “They realize what they need to do as a tradition for the program and I think that momentum will carry over into the conference season.”

The transition into conference play will start with a road-meeting between Ball State and Bowling Green, a team that has played under a new head coach all season.

“Bowling Green is a revamped team with new energy due to a new coach,” Roberts said. “They’re predicted to come in last in the conference, but I don’t think that’s right.

I think it’s going to be an oversight and I’m expecting tough competition in that game.”

Ball State will close out non-conference play as it hosts Western Illinois for Senior Night at 5 p.m. Friday.

Men’s Tennis Preview

Men’s tennis team opens fall season Patrick Murphy Daily News Reporter

We could have gotten two players in [the Marquette Invitational], but we didn’t think it was practical. I just wanted to stay home and practice.”

- BILL RICHARDS, Men’s tennis coach

Ball State men’s tennis will begin its season this weekend at the Purdue Invitational.

The Cardinals have previously started the season at the Marquette Invitational, but chose not to this season, as it became an individual tournament.

“We could have gotten two players in, but we didn’t think it was practical,” said head coach Bill Richards. “I just wanted to stay home and practice.”

The reason why Richards wants to go to Purdue instead of Marquette is because of the convenience, he said. “[Purdue] is a strong tournament in terms of the quality

of the players,” Richards said.

“We also don’t have to travel far.”

Richards also plans to direct his focus on the ITA Regionals and the MidAmerican Conference Indoor Championship.

Richards plans to use the MAC Indoor Championship as a way to see how the team stacks up against other teams in the conference.

PLAYERS TO WATCH THIS SEASON A set of players to watch this season will be the five new freshmen added to the roster.

These freshmen include Khamasi Muhiga and Alec Robillard, who are both from Muncie, Bryce Bonin (Crown Point), Chris Adams (Port Hurion, Michigan) and Thibault

Senior Lucas Andersen wins his first-flght match 7-5, 6-1 against Eastern Illinois freshman Freddie O’Brien at Muncie’s Northwest YMCA on Jan. 22. GRACE RAMEY, DN Negri, who is from Belgium.

Richards said this season is not a rebuilding year, but a transitional year.

“I think there is a lot of potential in this team,” Richards said.

Senior Jon Jirus is another player to keep an eye on. Last

season, Jirus won 12 matches.

For this season, Jirus has prepared himself by playing tennis over the summer, seeing the trainer and developing the right mindset.

After a productive summer, Jirus plans to take his performance to a certain level.

“With tennis, there is a level of your game is at a point where you want it to be or over,” Jirus said.

Another player to watch for this season is junior Conner Andersen. Andersen saw most of his action at the sixth flight, going 7-3.

Olivia Adams Daily News Reporter This weekend, a select squad of the Ball State cross country team will head to Purdue to compete at the Indiana Intercollegiate Championship meet.

Distance coach Raynee DeGrio decided to leave the Cardinals’ top nine runners at home this weekend to allow other runners to compete against some in-state rivals.

“This will be a good opportunity for them to get out and get a little competitive effort in,” DeGrio said. “We are not putting too much emphasis on the team score this week, just because we are not running our full lineup.”

Because the full lineup will not travel to Purdue, the women chosen to compete plan to go into the meet with fresh legs as they take on new challenges.

CRAWFORD, DN

“We are looking to see how these individuals do and how they stack up and hopefully run a little bit quicker than what they have in the past,” DeGrio said.

“For some, it will be their first chance at a 6K race distance, so it will be a little bit of a change for them.”

The Cardinals competed at the Illinois State Invitational last

weekend. Ball State’s five runners scored 159 points to place sixth among the nine teams at the invite.

DeGrio said she will be directing her focus on the individual scores this weekend, rather than the team score.

“We are basically looking at the individual scores of our athletes and how they are competing,” The meet will start at 3:30 p.m.

Pass rush preps for Family Weekend Ball State defensive end Anthony Winbush leads NCAA with 4.5 sacks, 7.0 tackles for loss Colin Grylls Football Reporter

Ball State fans attending the Family Weekend football game will get a chance to watch one of the best pass rushers in the country.

Redshirt senior defensive end Anthony Winbush leads the Football Bowl Subdivision with 4.5 sacks — including three in the season-opening loss at Illinois. His seven tackles for loss are also first in the nation. “[My biggest strength is] just being consistent and not stopping my feet,” Winbush said. “Keep fighting to get to the quarterback.

If I lose the first initial move, just keep working after that and it leads to something bigger.”

The Cardinals (1-1) expected their pass rush to be the defense’s strength entering the season, and so far they’re tied for 20th in the

country with seven team sacks.

“Those guys just got a hunger to get after the quarterback, got a hunger to make plays,” defensive line coach Keith McKenzie said. “And they also know that they need to do their jobs in order for the defense as a whole to be successful.”

Ball State hosts Football Championship Subdivision team Tennessee Tech (0-2) this weekend after facing a pair of run-heavy offenses in Illinois and UAB. The Golden Eagles offense seems to move the ball better through the air — they have 274.5 passing yards per game against just 61.5 rushing yards — but Cardinals defensive coordinator David Elson isn’t worried.

“They’ve been behind in some games so I think their numbers are a little skewed,” Elson said.

“It shows that they’re throwing it more, but I think they’re more of a balanced offense and if they

watch our tape from last week they’re going to want to run the football at us because we didn’t defend it very well.”

Last week, Ball allowed 336 rushing yards in a 51-31 win against UAB, one week after holding Illinois to 71 yards on the ground.

“The most important thing is we just didn’t tackle as well as we did the week before,” Elson said. “We gave up 206 yards after contact. So that means we were there to make a tackle, and because we didn’t make tackles they gained 206 more yards.

That’s something that, obviously, we’ve got to pay attention too.”

Even with Winbush’s speed off the edge, McKenzie said the interior linemen were getting double-teamed by UAB’s offensive line. Senior defensive tackle Kevin Willis, who recorded a sack against UAB,

said controlling the line should help put the linebackers in a better position to make the initial tackle.

“Double-teams, it’s not easy for D-lineman,” Willis said. “But if you just stay strong in there, stay square and fight, you can free up a lot more space for our other defensive players to get in there and get a tackle.”

Still, Tennessee Tech’s quarterbacks have been sacked five times in two games against other FCS schools.

As for Winbush, he’s not really concerned with where his sack total puts him on the leader boards — even if it is at the top.

“It really doesn’t mean that much just because we’ve still got 10 more games to play and anything can change in a heartbeat,” Winbush said. “So we’re just staying focused on team goals.”

X-FACTORS ON THE FIELD

DNSports

For the 2nd year in a row, Ball State football hosts a Football Championship Subdivision team on Family Weekend Colin Grylls Daily News Reporter Saturday’s 3 p.m. game at Scheumann Stadium is the first-ever meeting between Ball State (1-1) and Tennessee Tech (0-2). Ball State, however, is 3-1 in its last four games against FCS teams, including a 41-14 win in last season’s Family Weekend matchup with Eastern Kentucky.

Ball State is coming off a 51-31 win over the UAB Blazers (1-1), while Tennessee Tech lost 27-14 against Kennesaw State in its last game.

Colin Grylls, the Daily News football reporter, is covering the game and offered up some insight on the key positional matchups:

Ball State running backs vs.

Tennessee Tech front seven

Three different Cardinals running backs — junior James Gilbert, sophomore Malik Dunner and freshman Caleb Huntley — scored touchdowns last week.

Huntley, listed third on the depth chart, actually led Ball State with 89 yards on the ground against UAB. The Cardinals average 165.5 rushing yards per game.

In two games against FCS teams, Tennessee Tech allowed an average of 303.5 rushing yards per game.

Ball State defensive line vs.

Tennessee Tech offensive line

Redshirt senior defensive end Anthony Winbush leads the Football Bowl Subdivision with 4.5 sacks through two games. The Cardinals are 20th in the nation with seven team sacks, pushing opposing offenses back 60 yards — the sixth most yards in the country.

Tennessee Tech’s quarterbacks have been sacked five times in two games.

Ball State secondary vs.

Tennessee Tech passing game

Ball State allows just 156.5 passing yards per game, though its first two opponents featured run-heavy offenses. Tennessee Tech averages 274.5 yards through the air and completes 63 percent of its passes.

But even if the Golden Eagles can move the ball through the air, their quarterbacks have thrown five interceptions in two games.

Ball Control

Ball State is fourth in the nation on third down, converting 60.5 percent of its attempts. Tennessee Tech’s opponents have converted 42.3 percent of their attempts, but the Golden Eagles only convert 34.8 percent of the time.

The Cardinals’ average time of possession is 35:36 and should post similar numbers this weekend.

Final Prediction:

Ball State junior quarterback Riley Neal looks for an open receiver during the Cardinals’ game against the Blazers on Saturday at Scheumann Stadium. Neal had 217 passing yards. PAIGE GRIDER, DN

09.14.17

Ball State is a run-first team playing against a team that struggles stopping the run. Tennessee Tech’s offensive line has to contend with one of the best pass rushers in the country.

On the brink of zero Wasteful spending was never in my wheelhouse. I was a talented dog-walking entrepreneur growing up and scrambled to pull neighbors’ garbage out for a spare dollar or two each week. I did everything to justify any spending a 10-year-old might do.

NICK SIANO

Senior telecommunications news major

Saving matured with me as I entered college. Textbooks were to be both rented and previously used, or, God willing, split with another classmate. Bargain brands were king any time I had to shop.

But there was one corner I couldn’t cut.

Tuition prices didn’t scare me my first year — I thought very little of them. But in the beginning of my second year, as I pulled money out of an ATM to pay at the bursar’s office, I got an alert from my bank.

To say I was afraid would be an understatement.

Peering back at me was a balance of $4.63, just about the kind of amount college students joke to having to their name. It’s enough to begrudgingly order a shot with, in hopes of drowning out the impending notices a bank might send shortly thereafter.

But it certainly wasn’t enough to pay for the rest of that semester.

It’s a feeling so many people face, whether due to college or not.

INSIDE: WHY NETFLIX’S ‘DEATH NOTE’ SUCKS

Lost in Translation: Why the ‘Death Note’ movie sucks Emily Reuben

Editor-in-Chief of Byte

To me, “Death Note” is a strange movie; it is more of a reimagining than an adaptation of the original. This should have allowed for more creative freedom, but there is one crucial flaw that keeps “Death Note” from breaking free of the source material’s shadow: the inability to craft a relatable narrative for western viewers around meaningful characters.

Japan is what is known as a collectivist society. Individuals in a collectivist society that value their individualism over the needs of the society are often met with negative reception. In regards to “Death Note,” the presence of a killer that wants to rid the world of evil for the betterment of society is a collectivist ideal; the individuals causing the problems for the collective society are punished. However, by placing himself above everyone else in an attempt at reaching godhood, our protagonist, Light, shows that those who break from society, even with good intentions, end up making themselves worse off in the end.

America, by contrast, is an individualistic society. To remedy this, the Netflix iteration changed Light from a self-proclaimed martyr for Japanese society to a rebellious vigilante who wants to circumvent the rules, because the rules are dumb. American Light values his individual needs first and foremost representing an American narrative.

This change would be commendable if the resultant focus on the individual didn’t come off as an accident relying on the trope of the bullied kid out for revenge. There are virtually no other elements present in the story that point to a conscious change in theme to better represent the American setting of the film. In an attempt to keep audiences from being alienated by Japanese views, Netflix’s “Death Note,” unintentionally,

becomes relatable to no one.

When changing the target audience and narrative structure from the original “Death Note,” it would make sense to craft new characters, based loosely around those from the manga and anime, to match the new narrative structure.

Instead, director Adam Wingard

Asian-Americans are not only underrepresented, they are denied representation in works that depict their own culture.”

Americanized the existing characters by erasing the Japanese character traits and substituting them with more western attributes and actors, but this was a poor decision and a massive oversight.

Asian-Americans are not only underrepresented, they are denied representation in works that depict their own culture. When roles are taken away from Japanese-Americans, a group already given extremely few opportunities for portrayal, the issue becomes extremely problematic. By failing to create both legitimately original characters (not just changing last names) and hiring a more diverse Japanese cast, “Death Note” adds to the problem of Asian erasure.

Often what makes a series so beloved are the elements that American directors try to do away with to appeal to the western crowd. We can only hope that one day Hollywood will learn that there is a reason anime is popular and not feel the need to add an American fingerprint on everything that comes to our shore from Japan.

Continued from Page 15

It crushes you from all sides, and squirms into every thought you have. And it can be hard to come back from the overwhelming fear that you will have absolutely no money to your name.

Knowing I needed money, but knowing full-well I was afraid of needles and, by extension, donating plasma, I began applying to as many positions as I could find that still gave optimal hours. I had worked for the university before, calling alumni and groveling for money. Clearly, that left a bad taste in my mouth. So getting an interview on campus to work with a professor doing vaguely defined projects didn’t exactly call for angels singing from the heavens. The more appropriate sound heard on high would be fluorescent bulbs crackling in worn-down rooms. Regardless, it was a lead to having an income.

Truth be told, I barely remember my first interview. I was worrying about securing it to make my next payment. Somehow, the professor who interviewed me saw potential and offered me the position.

Eager to rid my balance, I worked as often as I could and eventually was able to double my hours. It was monotonous research that led to very simple products that I had to produce two times per week, which ended up going unused in the long run.

Then I got rehired at the new semester.

That then turned into job security until graduation.

As my employment progressed, it came with a great working relationship with my boss, who’s acted as a great adviser and the occasional stress mitigator, and skills I wouldn’t have picked up on at most other jobs.

I’ve never been the type to subscribe to silver linings, let alone believe in fate. But somehow, my bank account bottoming out opened this amazing door that’s been more helpful than any of the other jobs I applied for, and has given more experience than any internship possibly could have.

Everyone’s response to a financial obstacle is different. But sharing in that experience and knowing that so many others around you struggle with it makes it slightly more palatable. That helpful door that I was able to find quickly sometimes waits behind a few sets of other doors, but getting to that spot makes the payoff so much sweeter.

Equestrian Team offers lessons, learning, competitive opportunities

Sophomore telecommunications major Nikki Campbell has been riding horses for 11 years. Now she participates in the Hunter/Jumpers Equestrian Team. NIKKI CAMPBELL, PHOTO PROVIDED Sian Rhodes Daily News Reporter Nikki Campbell, a sophomore telecommunications major, has been riding horses for 11 years.

“My dad and I always watched the thoroughbreds [race] and I just fell in love with one of the race horses, Barbaro, the 2006 Kentucky Derby winner and he just sparked me to get my own horse,” Campbell said.

Once she finally had her own horse, Campbell participated in several different competitions, including barrel racing and pole bending. Now, on the Hunter/Jumpers Equestrian Team, she also jumps.

Being part of the team got Campbell to step outside her comfort zone, which is what the team hopes to offer each of its members. Members also learn about horses and how to ride and show them in different levels of competitions.

“It [the club] is a cheaper alternative to showing,” Campbell said. “You don’t have to have your own horse, which has proved to be beneficial to some riders. We have people who have never even touched a horse and joined the team to see what the sport is about.”

Each team member is also able to take lessons from the coach, Amanda McRae. Lessons range

COST Showing members pay $25 Non-showing members pay $15 Once-a-week lessons cost $300 Twice-a-week lessons cost $600

from basic riding to more difficult lessons with jumping fences.

The club also participates in about three competitions per semester. In the spring, competitors work to gain enough points to earn the chance to advance to regionals, and eventually nationals.

Some members, however, are just content with learning how to ride and take care of horses.

Tiler Langston, sophomore elementary education major, said anyone should feel comfortable joining, regardless of their skill level. Langston has found that the club has a lot to offer for anyone involved.

“This team has become like my second family,” Langston said. “Everyone pushes each other to be better, not just in riding, but as a better person too.”

Langston said being part of the Hunter/Jumper Equestrian Team is an opportunity that is just “too great to pass up.”

Ball State, Dear World team for event Students, faculty share personal experiences during portrait project Brooke Kemp Daily News Editor Ball State community members are given the chance each year to get personal and share their stories with the world through the Dear World project.

The Dear World Team, which is an organization that travels in search of people’s stories and creating a portrait project with them, traveled to Ball State on Sept. 7.

About 100 Ball State community members participated in the event.

Participants were given the chance to write phrases on parts of their bodies for personal portraits.

Kaia Thompson, a senior communication studies major, was inspired to share her story.

Thompson was in the 8th

grade when her parents divorced.

“During that time it was very difficult for my family and it really took me to try to go to faith and start believing in God and developing that relationship,” Thompson said. “It was just a really difficult time when they were going through that divorce, and having those conflicting messages from both parents but trying to obey the Bible that’s like ‘Listen to your parents.’

“For me, family is very important and to be loved is important. During that time, I don’t feel like I felt either.”

While considering what Thompson should write on herself, her eyes began to tear up as she realized she has not fully moved on.

Thompson was inspired to write “We have broken. Have

I healed?” on her arms.

“I don’t cry, so crying in front of people is the annoying part, but I know that divorce isn’t like my own story that only I go through,” she said. “I know that it’s something that a lot of people go through so, to get it out, maybe you can find a community or people who understand and that’s the best part of it.”

Casandra Corrales, storyteller for Dear World, said the point of the portrait project is to connect people with their stories.

“It helps that we have a picture and people get that artifact for sure, but ultimately we have found that people want to share something about themselves when they are given that opportunity,” Corrales said.

Casey Schultz, academic

Campus

adviser and recruiter, conveys her message with the goal of helping others while expressing herself.

On Schultz’s arm, “Don’t be the bunny,” is written.

“There’s this viral video on Facebook of this wild animal called a stoat, and it hunts rabbits,” Schultz said. “It’s always like flopping around and trying to distract the rabbit, so when it lets its guard down, the stoat attacks.

“I do a lot of online dating, and one of the ladies in the office compares that to me online dating and she’s always telling me ‘Don’t be the bunny, don’t be distracted by that mesmerizing behavior.’”

Schultz is known to make the best out of any situation and has experienced rejection, which is why she wants to encourage other people not the “be the bunny.”

Cardinal Closet offers students access to professional clothing

Cardinal Closet is a resource on campus that the Student Action Team created to help students who are in need of professional clothing.

The closet, located in the Mysch/Hurst wing of LaFollette Complex in room H137, holds clothing of all different sizes, styles and colors.

“Cardinal Closet has helped students become confident so that they are better apt to succeed at their interview,” said Christian Davis, a public relations coordinator and junior telecommunications major.

Each student is allowed three free clothing items every semester, and must set up an appointment to visit.

Seven students have already visited Cardinal Closet this year, and Payden Leatherman, vice president of the SAT and a junior animations major, said the SAT encourages every student to feel comfortable using the resource.

In order to fill the closet, the SAT holds donation drives throughout the year and also accepts donations at any time.

Clothes that have been in the rotation for a while or go out of style are not wasted, however. Instead, the SAT donates those clothes to local shelters.

“We give back to the Muncie community because we know their home may not be here at Ball State, but they can find a home in the Muncie community,” Davis said.

The SAT also works to help the community and give students even more of a chance to connect and give back through events such as Bingo After Dark, 24 Hours of Service and Journey to Hope.

DONATE To set up an appointment, visit the Student Action Team Benny Link page and fill out the form under “forums.”

President Mearns was quick to agree.

“I think it’s safe to say none of them are as competitive as I am,” President Mearns said. “Some of them are a little more balanced, like their mother.”

While the Mearns only moved to Muncie four months ago, they said they have already begun to feel at home on campus.

Jennifer says she regularly runs through Minnetrista and takes the eighth member of the family, their dog Katie, on walks around campus.

“I just think it’s such a nice community.

People have been very genuinely welcoming, and I think that’s been nice,” Jennifer said. “People will just come up on the street, some people might feel funny about doing that, but here, people just come up and say, ‘Welcome to the neighborhood,’ or, ‘Hope to see you around,’ and, ‘Good luck,’ so that’s been really nice.”

President Mearns says that he has been pleasantly surprised with both the campus and the community.

“I know people who remember Muncie 50 years ago or 30 years ago and they say, ‘Oh, it’s not like it was,” and that may be true, but it’s also not like it was five years ago, it’s better,” President Mearns said.

“It’s been very encouraging and refreshing to arrive knowing that the institution is getting stronger and that the community is sound and also notwithstanding its challenges. It’s nice to join any community that is improving, and that’s certainly the case here.”

The Mearns will be participating in various Family Weekend events such as the alumni legacy dinner, the School of Music Showcase and tailgating at the football game.
